Boko’s fight against corruption :: Mmegi Online

President Duma Boko’s administration is bent on ridding the country of corruption, while at the same time keeping itself clean from being enticed into falling into the broad path of illicit personal gain. During his first ever State of Nation Address (SONA), Boko promised a fierce tussle against corruption. Will his efforts bear fruit? Mmegi Staffer PINI BOTHOKO writes

Following their election into power, Boko’s government moved swiftly to remove the crime busting agency, Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) from the Office of the President (OP) to be an independent entity, which raises hope that the new administration is fully committed towards the elimination of corruption and delivering to the promise they made in their 2024 manifesto.
